Research: Is spirituality good for your health?
Update : I would like to thank everybody very much who showed an interest in my research project and to those who have agreed to participate, I am extremely grateful! I have had such a fantastic response that I can no longer include anyone else in the project, however I look forward to sharing the outcome of the project with FMAUK in a few months’ time. Best wishes, Sue Evans.
Is spirituality good for your health?
Hello. My name is Sue Evans, and I am an MSc student with the Alef Trust.
This study is exploring whether following a spiritual health programme can increase feelings of health and wellbeing in people living with Fibromyalgia.
Following the programme is simple and involves connecting with what makes you feel good – reading a book, listening to music or being in nature. Daily, short, meditations are encouraged as is keeping brief notes in a journal to mark your progress. You will be given a link allowing you to download the programme booklet before you start.

Steph: Pregnancy with fibromyalgia
This is an emotive subject for me, I feel as though I’ve come almost full circle since having my daughter in 2016. I don’t look at my first pregnancy with fond memories - because I was debilitated by hormonal migraines, and by 16 weeks I was on crutches with a condition called Symphis Pubic Dysfunction where the ligaments in your pelvis become stretchy making walking painful, this condition later saw me in a wheelchair. (Hang in there, there’s a fibromyalgia related point to this, I promise.) At 36 weeks I was diagnosed with preeclampsia, I had to be hospitalised and induced, I had to have my waters broken manually and when my daughter finally arrived she was born withdrawing from antidepressant medication I was taking in pregnancy.
